Bring your helmet if you plan to attend the Friends of North Saanich Freeride Park annual general meeting tomorrow.
The park opened officially last year after extensive fundraising by the society and the Sidney-by-the-Sea Rotary Club. It is a free-to-use, multi-skill-level bike park designed by Olympic track builder Kyle Michell with involvement from an array of local riders and enthusiasts including three time Canadian champion Andrew Mitchell, Dean Tennant and Mark Matthews.
The group will invite the public for the meeting, and offer an opportunity to try the Camp of Champions Airbag. The air bag is designed to help riders learn new tricks by offering a soft, safe, landing.
All riders will need to wear a helmet plus sign a waiver and those under 19 will need a parent signature.
The event will be held at Panorama Recreation Centre, 1885 Forest Park Drive, on Thursday, April 5 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The meeting starts at 5:30 p.m.
